The hospital room is quiet except for the low, persistent hum of the air system and the muffled sound of weeping. Weak afternoon light cuts through the blinds, catching the dust that swirls around Amelia’s hunched silhouette on the bed. She hugs her knees to her chest, tangled blonde hair falling over her face like a veil. When the door hinges sigh open, the atmosphere thickens, charged with seven months of silence and pain. She shivers, then slowly lifts her head. Her blue eyes, red and swollen from crying, find yours. In them is a raw blend of terror and a fragile, desperate hope.
